We are always working away in the background thinking up ways to elevate the community experience for all of our members. Today I’m excited to be sharing a f...

Hello, I liked the new follow/followed feature on the forum, but even though I have 2 followers I have never been notified about that.

I cannot even browse the followers list to know who is actually following me.

I ask for improvements like notifications and watch following/followers lists.

Thanks.

Rob ⚡️

Mirko_ddd Fair points! Viewing who’s followed you seems like an obvious one we should look into!

Mirko_ddd Yes I think it could be like on Instagram where you can see who you follow and who follows you.

Rob ⚡️ loving the navigation bar at the bottom!

Such a small addition, but a wonderful QoL touch. Loving all of the improvements to the Community Site, keep up the great work! 🎉

Still having issues with the icons – see below. Tried refreshing the page.

When I previously suggested moving the toolbar to the bottom of the page (sean (1)), I meant the toolbar that displays how many posts there are in the thread – the one that opens a scrollbar (at the bottom of the page), and has a menu button that when tapped pops open a reply button (also at the bottom of the page), which when tapped opens a quick-reply box (why the needless menu step?). It would be more comfortable if this toolbar (i.e. the pop-up scrollbar and quick-reply button) was at the bottom of the page, perhaps a tab on the new toolbar, so users do not have to overstretch or fumble to get to the top of their phone’s display.

The reply box stands out more, which is an improvement, but I notice it remains very dark and blends in (in dark mode) when the user has a draft message pending. Can this be brightened up too?

Rob ⚡️ option to conduct polls would solve the issue of so many repeated requests and reduce the size of thread. Also the way of communication and understanding would be better. A

I am actually quite flattered to see that the current nav bar is very close to the concept design I made for the community app months ago. I still think the red is being overused too much and UX wise its a giant disaster. Black background with red color for links… there are many color blind individuals who see red color as “black”, meaning they will not see any links at all.

Regarding what you said sean (1) - I actually designed a concept a while back but didn’t share it then. I believe it might solve your issue if implemented.

The toolbar sticks to the bottom of the screen (just above the nav) no matter where you are on the post, allowing user to quickly like the post (they don’t have to scroll all the way back up). They can also reply whenever (they don’t have to scroll all the way to the bottom). Navigation is handled by clicking the numeric value at the bottom and scrolling to a desired location.

That’s what I pictured. Make it a little thinner so it takes up less space, then you’re bang on. 👍🏻

Maybe there is a possibility to add an option to open polls with comments?

And can the scrollbar be moved from the far left of the display to the centre? It’s hard for my right thumb (I’m right handed) to reach the left edge of my display; especially the ‘∆ Original Post’ button.

This 👆.
NothingX, and the weather app are themed this way too. Or keep it all black with a white stroke or light shadow to separate elements. The current dark mode feels like a forced dark mode that you get with a Chrome extension (better than white mode tho 🙂).

Be great to see Nothing community have polls.

As some of you may have noticed, we have started experimenting with site-wide translation on nothing.community.

At present, we are testing a German language pack, you can toggle between English and German using the switcher at the top of the website on desktop, or via the burger menu on mobile.

If successful, we will seek to add more language packs in the future.

Please note, this feature is currently in Beta, some parts of the homepage may not translate.

Feedback from our German users is welcome! 🤝 🇩🇪

Rob ⚡️ - Another lovely addition!

A step towards bringing the community across the world together! Fortunate to be a native English speaker, but I know it isn’t the easiest language to grasp. Very excited to see more translations come and how this can help the Community connect across language barriers! 🔥
